Superhero "Cupcake Crusader" visited the first grade today to teach Miss Lybbert's class about opinion writing. Each child chose their own superhero and powers to use as they let their classmates know why their powers would be the best. There were a bunch of persuasive choices of superheroes for the day!
Spanish Oaks 3rd-6th graders are enjoying their time learning how to play chess with Mr. Johnson in our Chess Extra Class before school. We have some real thinkers!
What a great bunch of readers! In an assembly to reward the great reading going on at Spanish Oaks, we had a special visitor do some magic tricks for us! Ronald McDonald himself celebrated 1,056,043 minutes read by our students. Our bike winners are Adaline Rowbury from Mr. Rigby's sixth grade class, and Logen Bringhurst from Olsen/Dimmick's third grade class. Congratulations to those two students, as well as to all the book and poster winners. Also, a special thanks to our PTA for setting up such a motivating and fun assembly! You rock, Mrs.
